| Accurate vs Musical How about the many parameters of accuracy? Tonal accuracy is different from accuracy with transients and decay. Electrostats do a great job with leading edges, while they fail to properly flesh out the "meat" of the instrument.Phase problems can a... | |
| Stereophile review of the T-Amp Here's a little Class D shootout which included the T-Amp:http://www.gr-research.com/amps/amps.htm | |
| What makes a High Efficiency Speaker ". . .The only true high efficiency speakers are horn loaded. . ."Untrue. Fostex and Lowther make hi-efficiency drivers that do not have to be hornloaded. Zu makes speakers over 100 db efficient without hornloading. Dedaelus makes the DA-1 at arou... | |
| Request to hear Zu speakers I had an Agon member over yesterday for a few hours. It was a fun session and it seemed he was impressed, but I'll let him post if he wishes.My offer to audition for the curious stands. | |
| Request to hear Zu speakers I'll be have a little get-together at my place in Bothell (Seattle) on Sunday to hear the Def's.Anybody wanting to hear them, please let me know and we'll make it happen.Mike | |
| Request to hear Zu speakers This is a hijacking. Based on the title of the thread, I assume people in other regions will check here.I am available for demonstrations in the Seattle area. | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? I have found that even loose testing conditions minimize my ability to hear differences that I previously thought obvious. Recently, I did some blind testing with a neighbor who has a Krell integrated amp. It drives me nuts, so we dropped in a Mod... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 I just had my Def's upgraded to Pro status. For now, I've got either a Clari-T or a Dared 300B amp for the front array and an Adcom 555 for the rears.It's all very new, but the new, beefier rear drivers along with eq. and full XO control of using ... | |
| Has anybody heard Zucable's Definition 1.5s I just upgraded my Def's to Pro's, which require much more care and feeding. If I wasn't into electronic and rap music this wouldn't be needed at all.They are a spectacular speaker. What the owners say is true. I owned the Druids previously and th... | |
| Efficient full range floorstanders to match SET Zu Druids would fill your bill nicely at $2,800. Add a fast sub and you'd be in heaven. Near-wall is no problem with these, I had mine stuffed tight in corners for months. The 12-ohm load is very SET friendly too. And, they'll play any material at... | |
| room size for Zu Definitions I think that would be fine. The operative function is how far away you can sit. 10 feet from the speakers is great, 12 is better. These can sit very close to the front wall - I've got mine about 6" away. I've done some experimentation and frequenc... | |
| Listening Fatique- componet or speaker issue. Try a non-OS DAC. I think jitter is a big culprit in fatigue. | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? How many tubes are in your friend's system? They really brought out the body and depth in mine, just like they do with my Definitions now. | |
| GALLO Reference 3 Owners I sold mine, as they were never convincing in the midrange department. They're also not terribly dynamic. But oh those tweeters. . . | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? Out of your 4:Full body - check! Absolutely and undeniablySmooth and non-fatiguing - Check! Hours on-end, no sweatGood dynamics - check! Take away the XO and Wowsers!!Bass impact - not so much. They are tuneful and fast in the bass, but they won't... |
